Barcelona coach Setien: I don't care about Arthur's Mum; we expect total commitment

Barcelona coach Quique Setien expects total commitment from Arthur Melo to the end of the season.

The Barcelona midfielder passed a medical and agreed terms with Juve in Turin on Sunday as part of a swap which will see Miralem Pjanic go in the opposite direction.

Arthur's mother criticised Setien on social media, but the coach said this morning: 'I'm not hanging on what Arthur's mother said, but he said the same thing I said the other day.

"We expect the greatest commitment from him until the last day he is here. He is still a Barcelona player until the end of the season and has promised that he will be one more and will fully achieve the goals that we have set.

"He is a boy who will be honoured until the last day."
